Giro Civila and Petra Cycling Shoes

Lately I have been focused more on the fun and adventure per mile side of riding than the weight and watt savings side. This means comfort and function over carbon. As I picked my way through a snowy path last week on a ROAD ride I had dreams of sexy road shoes that used mountain style pedals. These Civila and Petra shoes by Giro are exactly what I had in mind.

Simple, functional and good looking. Ranging from $80 for the Petra VR to $150 for the Civila. Check out Giro’s full women’s shoe line over yonder.

The image of cycling is changing to fashionable function, and I welcome it with open arms.
